Wondering same thing... clearly this skill was rushed out the door with no word on why trigger gems not working or if it was intentional or not. Probably more concerned with the support packs than focus on Storm Call.

Could u add a tooltip to show what changes will happen when u lvl up a gem. U see the gem can be lvld up in the upper right corner of the screen.
I would like a tooltip that says x mana => y mana, x Damage => y damage, etc..

So u know immediatly if u want to lvl the gem or not, because now you have to wiki the gem to see what changes, which isn't that much of a problem, but it would be handy to see what changes ingame.

Also a search function or an auto-sort function in you stash would be handy because when you have a stash-page full of gems, it's really difficult to find the right one.

Barrage Thread is still missing :P

For me the gems are not good enough to get me thru merciless even with one character even though I have the gems for all characters and I can use most of them, and for those that I can't I have to stop my progress to reach the damn maps and play on another character to use different skills so I am not that bored of the repetitiveness. So I am on the brink of giving up playing. In addition, some of the gems require different build than what I have right now and for that I have to start all over again, and regret orbs I need to many and don't have the patience and time to trade, so I am like- I am gonna play a little more and then that's it- And I have played it only for 2 months. So that really doesn't speak too good for your game even though the graphics is 5 years ahead of its time still can't compensate for the boring repetitiveness. One solution- allow map drops at least from beginning of Merciless. Second option - improve the skills, currently all have their uses but most of them after some time get annoying like constantly recharging your buffs. More skills that have interesting mechanics could help- I think Diablo 3 is better in this. I didn't get bored there- even though I don't like the graphics that much. So I gotta give this one to Diablo by far. Actually in this game I played the first difficulty with 4 classes and after that I lost interest in the skills but kept playing for other reasons but I think that's it. Too bad. Now I kinda feel like I am a slave of this game cause I like the graphics and I wanna reach the damn maps but I don't have the patience for that. And I am a guy who played diablo 1 to level 57 out of 50 even though that game is of course 1000 times better so blaming me for being unpatient would be wrong. I know some people will say then play Diablo but I write this for the benefit (eventual) of the creators of the game so save your time and comments. This kinda like when you unsubscribe from a service and they ask you why you stop using it so now I've told you. However feel free to say if you had a similar experience.

Thanks.

I have a question. I'm a witch using Molten Shell, and of course, my Strength is too low to upgrade it to lvl 10: I have 86, 92 is required. But for some reason, I was able to upgrade it to the next level, although I don't meet the STR requirement. Can someone explain? How am I able to upgrade it, and also, how am I still able to use both the skill and the armour the gem is socketed in? Is this a bug? Also, in my passive skill tree, there's now always a red sign saying "Item Requirements: 6 more strength needed".

Oh, lol, thanks. But why doesn't it show the attributes with the 25% reduction then?

Greetings, i have a question about 'Cast When Damage Taken'.
It says: "This gem can only support skill gems of level 31 or lower"
While a friend says it only support gems that REQUIRE lv 31 or lower.
So is the description wrong ?

(I've used the seach, but there are about 1000 posts about this gem, sorry but i don't have the time to read through all of those.)

Will you change the description if it's wrong ?
